Semiconductor high-energy radiation scintillation detector
We propose a new scintillation-type detector in which high-energy radiation generates electron–hole pairs in a direct-gap semiconductor material that subsequently recombine producing infrared light to be registered by a photo-detector. The key issue is how to make the semiconductor essentially transparent to its own infrared light, so that photons generated deep inside the semiconductor could r...
متن کاملLower bounds on scintillation detector timing performance
Fundamental method-independent linuts on the timing performance of scintillation detectors are useful for identifying regimes in which either present timing methods are nearly optimal or where a considerable performance gain might be realized using better pulse processing techniques . Several types of lower bounds on mean-squared timing error (MSE) performance have been developed and applied to...
متن کاملNew approach for calibration of pixelated scintillation detectors of intraoperative gamma cameras
Introduction:SURGEOSIGHT is a dedicated intra-operative hand-held gamma camera designed and manufactured by our team to be used for lymphoscintigraphy. Although conventional gamma cameras are widely used, they lack the capability of the sentinel lymph node (SLN) imaging in the operation room. Like conventional gamma cameras it is necessary to calibrate SURGEOSIGHT for linearity...
متن کاملLow-background Experiments with High Pressure Gas Scintillation Proportional Detector
A scintillation proportional counter with wavelength shifting fiber readout filled with Xe or Kr under a pressure of up to 20 atm is proposed for the low–background experiments on search for dark matter of the Universe and 2K–decay of Kr.
متن کاملScintillation Neutron Detector on the Basis of Boron-containing Plastics
This reaction is endothermic, its threshold is 6.63 МeV, and the cross-section is 4·10 сm. Li nucleus with Т1/2=0.847 s is transformed into two α-particles of 1.5 МeV energy each, and one β-частицу of energy 13 МeV. The light yield in a plastic scintillator due to capture of thermal neutrons from α-particles and Li nuclei is equivalent to the yield from γ-quanta or electrons of energies from 65...
